Leonid Meteor Shower

I understand that there is to be a meteor shower tonight. A welcome relief from rain showers!The new moon promises dark skies. So if it isn't cloudy, we should get a show. Best viewing according to my source will be just before dawn. Happy viewing!

The waters are receding. But Highway 12 is br0ken.

Our latest Ocracoke Newsletter is a transcript of a letter written in 1949 by a visitor to the island. You can read the letter (which provides a glimpse into Ocracoke life sixty years ago) here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news102509.htm.
